NOTE: Now that we know who Natalie is, I'm sure you guys are beginning to hate her as much as I do. LOL. I don't know about you, but I just feel like slapping that little * beep * at the moment. Don't you? Hehe. Well anyway, enjoy!!!
QUICK SUMMARY: Natalie gets a little harsh towards Tori as Kelly comes to defend her.
"Fit For A Model"The Next Morning Dustin, Shane, and Hunter arrived at Storm Chargers to work that day. Kelly comes out from the back to greet them. "Hey, guys."
They look up and nodded lazily with a yawn. "Morning, Kel."
She stares at them weirdly, noticing the tiring expressions on their faces. "Are you guys okay?"
"Yeah. Never better." Dustin grunts in pain with a little sarcasm. "Just a bit sore, thank you."
Kelly chuckles as she places her hands on her hips. "Sore? What did you guys do? Ride a few laps? Hit the waves? Oh wait?!" She pauses and smirks. "Slide those rails and slip?"
Shane smiles in delight. "Whoa! That would be awesome to watch, but no. We just helped this fine girl move into her new house across from Tori. Oh...and did I mention that she was fine?!" He adds.
She smiles. "Wow. That's great. Maybe you'll get lucky this time." Kelly nudges his shoulder with a wink.
Shane gives her a confused look. "What does that supposed to mean?"
"You know...you may actually get some." Hunter chuckles.
"Oh yeah?" He smirks at the dirty blonde. "You were working it yourself."
Hunter squints his eyes. "What are you talking about?"
"Oh come on." Dustin sniggers. "Natalie is still hooked onto you. It's a bit obvious don't you think? The way she looks at you."
"Yeah! And she looked pretty pissed seeing you with Tori." Shane adds. "Talk about feisty looking."
Hunter rolls his eyes. "Whatever, man. It's over between us."
"Not to her." Dustin blurts out with his arms crossed on his chest.
Kelly was confused. "Wait a minute." She stops them for a moment as all eyes were on her "Who's this Natalie chick?"
"Hunter's fine ex." Shane replies. "I told you. The one that moved in across from Tori." He then continues. "I already mentioned that she was fine right?" Hunter and Dustin both rolled their eyes. Shane waits and scratches his head. "Yeah, she's fine."
"Oh." She raised an eyebrow. "Wow...that's umm..." Kelly trails off in shock. "Uhh...wow. And Tori is okay with it?"
"Why wouldn't she be?" Hunter asks in annoyance.
Kelly raised her hands up as if she was under arrest. "Hey, I was just saying." She chuckles. "If this girl is still interested, you never know when she'll make her move. So be careful."
Hunter rolls his eyes. "Right."
"Morning, guys." Tori and Natalie both enter the store, eating donuts to go. Hunter smiles as he went up to the two and gave Tori a kiss on the lips. Natalie looks away and secretly rolls her eyes. Kelly immediately spotted the snobby look that plastered on the girl's face as she beams right at her.
"Hey, beautiful." Hunter greets his girlfriend as he looks over at Shane who was hitting on Natalie.
"So...this is where you guys work." The brown haired observes the store. "Awesome."
"Yeah. Just check out these skateboards." Shane points them out on the walls. "Great for sliding those fake rails."
"You skateboard?" Natalie smirks as he nodded his head. "I'm sorry, but I heard skateboards are for losers. It's all about motorcross."
Hunter, Dustin, Tori, and Kelly all laughed at him. "Someone got moded!" The goofball blurts out. Shane frowns.
Natalie chuckles. "No, I'm kidding."
"So what brings you here?" Kelly steps in with her arms crossed. "Oh I'm Kelly by the way. The boss of this store."
Natalie forced a smile. "Pleasure. Well, I was in the process of looking for a place to live and a cousin of mine hooked me up with Tori, who happens to find a vacant house across from her. I loved the house so I immediately signed the papers, got the keys, and now here I am!" She squeals excitedly.
"Oh Super!" Kelly mocks her perkiness as the rest looks away and laugh quietly among themselves. "So what do you do for a living?"
"I'm a professional model." She stated with a nod. "For swimwear." Shane drops a jaw. I knew it, he thought.
"Really?" Hunter wrinkles his forehead. "Wow...you never told me."
"Well, you never asked." She smiles at him.
Dustin nudges Tori's shoulder. "Maybe you should be a model." He snickers silently to her.
Tori gives him a sickening look and pushes him away. "Get real."
"Oh come on." Dustin began raising his voice up. "Guys, don't you think Tori would make a great model?"
"No." She nods her head in dismay. "Dustin, shut up."
"Wait." Hunter began examining Tori carefully. "Tor, you'd make a fine model."
"I must agree." Kelly nods. "What do you think Natalie?"
She arches her eyebrows. "Well…yeah, but only if she lose some of that fat."
The guys all displayed outrageous looks on their faces as Tori looks down at herself and slowly places the donut down on the counter. Kelly glares at Natalie. Why did I even bother to ask you? She thought. "What are you talking about? She is not fat!" She retorts.
"Seriously." Dustin adds. "I know lots of chicks who are dying to have Tori's body and guys that want to be on top of it." Hunter immediately smacks him on the shoulder. "Ow! What?! It's true."
"Guys. It's okay." Tori smiles. "Really. It's not like I'm planning to be a model anyway."
They exchange looks.
"But didn't you find that rude?" Kelly says as she gives Natalie an evil glare.
"Hey. I was just being honest." She replies with her hand on her hips.
"Whatever."
"Okay you two." Dustin came walking in. "Break it up. We got work to do."
"Yeah. Don't want to attract the customers attention." Shane adds. "Especially yours of course." He faces Natalie with a wink.
Kelly rolls her eyes. "He's right. But I'm not sorry." She snarls wickedly at her.
"I'm not either, sweetie." Natalie smirks.
Kelly turns around and went right back to work with Dustin and Shane. Meanwhile, Hunter took Tori aside before she leaves to teach class at Wind Ninja Academy. "You sure you're okay?" He asks in concern. "You know, I don't think you're fat."
She rolls her eyes in annoyance. "Oh my God. I'm fine, okay? Don't worry about me."
Hunter smiles at her. "How about later on we have dinner tonight?"
Tori thought for a moment. "But what will you be doing after work till then?" She asks.
He shrugs. "I don't know. Go to Ninja Ops or something. Hang out with Cam. Maybe go riding."
"Well…" Tori presses her lips together. "Why don't you take Natalie around or something? Give her a tour around the place and then we'll have dinner."
Hunter smiles. "Sounds great. I'll pick you up from Ninja ops at uh 7?"
"Alright. Can't wait." Hunter quickly kisses her forehead and let's her go.
